Lymphoedema, a chronic condition often occurring after cancer treatment, poses a significant challenge to patients and healthcare professionals alike. Over the years, various myths and misconceptions have surrounded the advice and management regarding lymphoedema, leading to inconsistencies in care and suboptimal outcomes. It has also increased fears around lymphoedema development and progression, and individuals making major changes to the way they live their life, all in the name of lymphoedema prevention or management. Throughout the course of this presentation, we will explore common myths, including but not limited to those surrounding exercise, venepuncture and cannulation, and air travel. Throughout the course of the presentation, we will unravel the misconceptions around lymphoedema management and highlight areas where we rely upon anecdotal advice, and where there is a lack of evidence-based practice still, and more research is required. It is imperative that we confront these myths head-on and pave the way for improved lymphoedema management strategies that align with the best available evidence and help to empower our patients to make informed decisions about what actions they are willing to take to prevent lymphoedema or its progression.
